Daniela Moroz 5 Time Kite-foil world champion

Hold Fast: An Olympic Sailing Podcast - A podcast by Nathan Housberg

Born and raised in San Francisco, California, Daniela Moroz was the child of two windsurfing enthusiasts. She started kitesurfing at the age of 11 and then quickly progressed to hydrofoil boards and races in front of St. Francis Yacht Club on Thursday nights. It proved a promising training ground and she won her first world championship merely 4 years later at the age of 15. But, kite-foiling was a young sport and it took hard work for her to maintain her dominance over the fleet as it evolved. Kite-foiling was added to the list of sailing events at the Olympic games starting in 2024 and there Daniela hopes to reap the rewards of many years dominance in her discipline. https://www.danielamoroz.com/
